What is Awamori? | English Sub | Okinawan best souvenir | Awamori - Duration: 10:02.

It's different from Japanese Sake

Awamori has the history of 600 years

The difference from Sake is...

It's a spirits which is using stills same like whisky

Is this same as a single malt whisky?

Yes,it's same principle of pot stills for whisky

I think whisky is aging in barrels,is awamori same?

We use "KAME(ceramic bottle vase)" for awamori

Is there any others using ceramic bottle vases in the world?

There is only awamori using ceramic bottle vases

The more aging you make awamori more tasty

Recently, it can be stored in a KAME,stainless tank and glass bottle

So,take it with a bottle,put aging,then it will be tasty?

It will be weaker aging power than a KAME

Even if you take it in a bottle, as time goes by, you can enjoy a rich taste

They're the bottles that were used for aging awamori

Now it is Thailand,This must be a bottle around the 15-16th century

So this is one 5-600 years ago?

It's an estimate though,it must be a thing of that time

The KAME that was used for other typical aging is this "Kina-yaki"

The same genaraion "Chibana-yaki" this must be in 17th century

There used to be 200-300 years old vintage awamori in them?

so yes

They had only KAME as a containe

must be 200-300 years old vintage awamori in them

Was the king actually drinking Awamori aged with these bottles?

That's right,for the king of Ryukyu kingdom and a gift to mainland

As a special product of Ryukyu Kingdom

Indica rice as a material for Awamori

It is characterized by slender

This is Indica rice

Compared with sticky Japanese rice, it is smooth

Easy to put "aspergillus awamori",and this is what makes awamori's original flavor

This is an underground tank that stores Awamori

It's been 47 years since it's made

To store Awamori at constant temperature

The predecessor made the underground to store awamori

Okinawa has few earthquakes so it could be stored

What's the machine for?

It is a rotating drum for steaming rice

Steam for 1 hour by 120 degrees steam

The unique "aspergillus awamori",using only for awamori in the world

It's the process to sprinkle aspergillus awamori on steamed rice

I show you inside

This is the step steaming Indica rice and spreading aspergillus awamori

Breed aspergillus awamori for 24 hours in this drum

This is the steamed Indica rice

Steamed by 120 degrees and sprinkling aspergillus awamori now

Here is the growing room

Keeping the rice that made at 24 hours in the last process in 35 degrees temperture

Do the growth of affect the taste

This is a fermentation room

Put rice that made in last process,water and yeast in a tank

Add more sprinkling aspergillus,then MOROMI-mash is completed

Fermente for 2 weeks, MOROMI-mash containing alcohol wil be made

In this process,alcohol is 18%

This is a still that distills the MOROMI-mash that was made over two weeks

Distillers that can be used in awamori are pot stills

Move those Moromi in here,add heat,Moromi will be steam with alcohol

Then cool to liquid,that's raw awamori

So the adjustment of this can be cause to the taste?

Yes,there is 45 distillery of awamori

The taste will change depending on still's shape

In Ryukyu kingdom period,

Awamori used to be made by only 3 villeges,Akata,Torihori,Sakiyama

As very presious stuffs

Our Mizuho syuzo was founded in Torihori,now we have 170th anniversary

In Ryukyu kingdom period,there was 200-300 years old vintage awamori in vase bottles

I heard that those awamori were secured by locks

So I think only high position people could have those

Awamori has 600 years history so

It's recent years that common people could have awamori

This Meditation Studio Is Inside A Bus - Duration: 1:48.

- I think meditation chose me.

I had like the grander vision of it

that I wasn't really sure if people were ready

to just go and meditate without the yoga

and without other aspects to it.

So I thought, "Wait a second, maybe we do it mobile."

(upbeat contemporary music)

You walk through the door, sign in, easy peasy.

You leave your things in the cubby, take your shoes off.

Walk in to your spot.

Once you're all settled in, you are in the great hands

of one of our instructors who will guide you through

a 15 or 30 minute meditation.

We just launched like four months ago, so we're very new.

So I really do feel that there is space for mobile studios

like this in every big city.

So we've been working on that too.

There's so many benefits to meditation.

Mentally, it just helps you keep focused.

It helps create awareness.

Emotionally, it helps build compassion.

It helps build empathy.

And then, it helps your health.

Meditation really is an all around wellness tool

and it's just so simple.

So it's about just actually getting to do it.
